takinpictsofroadsnrails:Melrose Park (2016)This train station might look like a nondescript commuter stop in a nondescript suburb, but it glows golden in my memory. The summer after I graduated from high school, all I wanted to do was make the hours-long journey by bus, L, and Metra train from my Southwest Side neighborhood to this stop so I could visit my first serious boyfriend. He and I couldn’t get enough of each other in those days just before I started college and he returned to his downstate university. Although we have floated in and out of each other’s lives in the two decades since then, that summer was the last time we were together as a couple. With so much shared history, I wish he and I could have found a way to be friends, but that has never been possible for us. -- source link
